That is a great point. It is very valuable to demonstrate that our work is that of a “regular person.” We are not tech professionals, but professionals who use tech. If users view our initial work and see improvement in later pieces it may inspire them to try the tech themselves.

I love the functionality but I am concerned about the visual appeal. Eventually I would like to have my students use Google Sites to create a digital portfolio of their writing. I am interested to talk to you more about how you can/have used your own Google Site to model portfolio creation with your students. I have not looked into WIX, but I am interested to see what you learn about the platform! Maybe it will offer you some of the creative freedom that you are looking for.

I love the straightforward language throughout the presentation. It delivers a very clear point. I also think that your list of recommendations for educators is spot on, especially your nod to the SAMR model, advocating for transformation through technology. This presentation will help many educators understand how technology can help with formative assessment.

The explanation of the differences between emerging readers and mature readers is important for teachers and parents to understand. As such, your infographic will be a resource for a wide audience. Rubric will be sent via gmail.

Your content is relevant and accessible and presents findings on a very interesting topic. I think your advice about how to create an infographic is spot-on, especially after just creating one myself! This new learning will help you use this tool in your teaching.

Sat, 04 Jun 2016 18:52:08 +0000http://regginak.wordpress.com/?p=630#comment-59Your infographic makes the point well, Reggina. Awfully brave of you to highlight these findings as an EdTech student yourself. My experiences in a high school library, however, absolutely align. I’ve been trying to hype the ebooks for months and can count the number of circulations on two hands. Meanwhile, our standard fiction collection flies out the door.

I plan on using your research results to defend my position for less screen time with my kids. Thanks for making this mom RIGHT!

Tue, 31 May 2016 11:52:31 +0000http://regginak.wordpress.com/?p=614#comment-57Thank you. As far as my personal interpretation goes, I attempted to offer examples that relate to the high school English classroom. Also, teachers should be aware of the various functions of technology tools that they are selecting for use in the classroom. As I continue to learn more about SAMR, I find myself being more critical of technology tools that I am selecting for my students.

Tue, 31 May 2016 11:39:16 +0000http://regginak.wordpress.com/?p=614#comment-56Your screencast is a clearly presented summary of SAMR. I am wondering what your personal interpretation is of SAMR and why teachers should be aware of it and use it.

Sat, 21 May 2016 21:06:09 +0000http://regginak.wordpress.com/?p=555#comment-55I agree with Edutopia that technology can transform teaching and learning and like the way you clarified that by saying that the selection has to be purposeful in order to enhance learning. We live in a time where technology is redefining education and as we look through that lens, classrooms too will continue to evolve and change. And, as you pointed out, technology is relevant to differentiation, engagement, and enabling students to be content creators. Your elaboration of Hattie’s and Marzano’s ideas is a valuable review for all educators.
